rifle 30023000
« on: September 10, 2009, 14:01:58 »
Has anyone living in europe order a rifle 30023000 from DS before? Reason that I'm asking is that I send an entire list to ds with a price check and the price for the rifle would be 0,66 euro. Compared to all the other weapons and armour that are priced around 0,17 to 0,21 euro thats quite steep.

There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to how Playmobil sets the prices on their accessories, it seems once you are caught in their DS whirlpool you just ride it out.

I agree with Gepetto, I've never needed to order any of those as they're pretty common, but DS prices are very variable.

I recently got 2 different colours of the same style headband, on was 15p per item, the other 30p per item. The pouch on a sling was worse, one was 10p or 15p, the other was about 60p per item.

It may mean their stocks are low, or they're phasing out that item.

You could buy the 7675 redcoat soldier pack and get 3 of those rifles and a lot of spare parts.

Well I price checked the same rifle, darker colour 30 22 5480, price is now 0.21 euro. A lot more reasonable! Guess Martin is right about stocks and end of the line items.
